The often neglected Kashmir Dispute and its image of being a remote, landlocked region lacking of much resources may be an evasion from its true strategic and political position and how it is knitting regional geopolitics into its own fabric.

During the latest phase of the freedom struggle, virtually all the citizenry of Srinagar (capital city of Kashmir) – men, women and children – came out multiple times on the streets to lodge a non-violent protest against the continuance of Indian occupation. At times more than a million Kashmiris demonstrated during these protests and the number of memorandum, submitted to the office of UNMOGIP has exceeded 400.

What is the general perception of the Kashmiris, whom the authorities call terrorist in their everyday rhetoric, when they see growing friendship between India and Israel on counter-terrorism and arms deals?

Indian failure to confront the issue of insurgency in Kashmir has eventually aggravated the issue, making what might be called an insurgency in 1947 into a freedom movement, more deep rooted in the hearts and minds of the people of Kashmir with every passing year and decade.
